Ministerio de Propaganda post card ! ENERO 1937 from Madrid to Vidiago, 1937

This is an exceptional and historically significant piece of Spanish Civil War postal history, perfect for advanced collectors of Republican local issues, official mail, and censorship.

• Item Type: Official Postal Card issued by the Ministerio de Propaganda (Ministry of Propaganda).

• Date of Issue/Cancellation: January 1937.

• Origin: Madrid (Republican Capital).

• Destination: Vidiago, Llanes (Asturias, Northern Republican Zone).

Historical and Philatelic Context:

Issued during the intense Siege of Madrid, this official postcard represents the early efforts of the Second Spanish Republic’s newly created Ministry of Propaganda to manage communications and morale.

The card was sent from Madrid in January 1937, bound for the small coastal village of Vidiago in Asturias. This route is particularly interesting as it showcases the complex postal logistics between the central Republican zone and the isolated Northern Republican enclave (the Franja Cantábrica) before its fall later that year.

Why this piece belongs in your collection:

Pieces originating from the Ministerio de Propaganda during the first winter of the war are highly sought after. The combination of a Madrid origin, and an Asturian destination makes this a scarce document of wartime communication lines.
